I escaped the trailer park in pursuit of the American Dream. Now I’m a partner at Olsen Daines PC and a professor at Lewis & Clark Law School. My rate is $410 per hour. About 20% of my cases are pro bono at no charge. As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a lawyer. Growing up poor in Hillsboro, we didn’t know any lawyers. My inspiration to practice law came from TV shows and movies. I watched street-smart attorneys fight for underdogs, regardless of their ability to pay. Last year I was ranked among the top 2.5% of my peers by Super Lawyers magazine. My Martindale-Hubbell AV rating is Preeminent. I’m the Oregon State Bar consumer section past chair, Oregon Trial Lawyers Association consumer section past chair, and National Association of Consumer Advocates Oregon Chapter past chair. The day I passed the bar was the best day in my life. I was held back in the first grade and expelled from middle school. Read my old report card. I come from humble beginnings, was raised in a trailer park by a single mom, and am the first in my family to attend college. Now I dedicate about 20% of my practice to pro bono. I’m honored to chair my firm’s consumer protection group. Olsen Daines is one of the largest consumer bankruptcy law firms in the Northwest. Our attorneys have helped over 30,000 consumers since 1978.
